COMBINATION ROLLER AND BRUSHING'DEVICE.

Application file'd'May 25,

An important object of the invention resides in the provision of acontrlvance of this roller and a brush so that both operations may beaccomplished simultaneously.

A still further very important ob ect of the invention resides in theprovision of a device of this nature, which is exceedingly simple in itsconstruction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, reliableand efficient in use, and otherwise well adapted to the purpose forwhich it 1s designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in viewas will appear as thedescri tion proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features ofconstructlon, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter more fully described and claimed. r In the drawing I Figure'1 is a plan view of the contrivance embodying the features of myinvention, and Fig. 2 is alongitudinal section therethrough.

Referring to the drawing in detail, t Wlll be seen that the frame F ofthis contrivance includes a U-shaped member 5 having plates 6 fixed toits sides as at 7. These plates 6 are provided with laterally extendinglegs 8 at their extremities. Rollers 9 and 10 are journaled in thelegs8. A brush head 11 1s provided with cars 12 plvoted to the plates 6between the member 5 and the roller 10 and includes bristles 13projecting in close proximity to the roller 10. A handle 14 has apair ofbrackets 15 fixed to itsend as at 16. These brackets are substantiallyL- 'shaped in formation, and their extremities are rotatable on a bolt17 extended through tions of the plates 6.

A pair of rods 18 are attached to the brackets 15 adjacent the handle14, and are pivotally engaged with the brush head as at 19 so that byswinging the handle, the angle of the bristles 13 t0 the surfaceoverwhich the contrivance is being moved may be varied as desired. Thebrackets 15 are connected by cross brace 20. a

In using this contrivance, the handle 14 will be disposed as shown inFig. 2, when the contrivance is being moved upwardly to apply pap-eror=a poster to a' wall orthe like, butas the contrivance is moveddownwardly, the handle 14 would be swung inwardly, that is, in aclockwise direction re ferring to Fig. 2', so as to change the angle ofthe bristles 13, so that they will brush; in the desirable manner, aswill be apparent. Y

' It i's thought that the'construction, opera 1 tion, utility andadvantages of this invention 1 will now be clearly understood withouta'- more detailed description thereof. The present embodiment of thinvention has been disclosed in detail merely by way of example,since'in actual practice, it attains the features of advantageenumerated as desirable in thestatement of the invention and the abovedescription. It will be apparent.

that numerous changes in the details of construction, andin thecombination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to wlthoutdeparting from the spirit or scope of the inventionashereinafterclaimed, or sac-,

rificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is z- 1 1. Adevice of the class described including, in combination, a U-shapedmember, a

pair of sides fixed to the ends of the U-- shaped member and havinglaterally extending legs at their extremities, naled in the legs,brackets ciated with the sides, a handle in the.

rollers jourpivotally assop brackets, a brush pivotally mounted betweenthe sides adjacent one roller, and con-' necting, means between thebrackets and the brush whereby thefihandle may be swung to vary theangle of the brush to the surface over which the rollers are beingmoved.

1 2. A device of the class described .including, in combination, a framestructure, a roller journ'aled in', the frame structure, a brushpivotally mounted inthe frame structure, brackets pivotally mounted onthe frame structure, a handle engaged in the brackets,and connectingmeans between the brackets and the brush whereby the handle may be swungto vary the angle of the brush to the surface over which the roller isbeing moved. p v j In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
